H2S ALIVE®

This course shows workers how to work safely in and around hydrogen sulfide (H2S) environments.

H2S is a naturally occurring gas. It is often referred to as sour gas, acid gas, stink damp or sulphurated hydrogen. H2S is colourless, heavier than air in its pure state, and extremely toxic. It can also deaden your sense of smell. In low concentrations, it has a rotten egg smell and causes eye and throat irritation. At higher concentrations, it can cause death.

For these reasons, training in how to protect yourself is crucial in any industry where H2S might be encountered. This course provides participants with the skills and knowledge to help them identify and detect H2S, mitigate the hazards of working in an H2S environment, and respond to an incident involving an H2S release. It includes both theory and practical application exercises.

Students may formally withdraw from a class by contacting our office at least two business days prior to the class start date by telephone. Students and companies are held responsible for courses in which they are registered until they formally withdraw from the course(s) within the refund deadline dates.

Pre-Requisites

Please be advised that completion of the prerequisite online learning for first aid is mandatory before attending the in-class practical session. If the online modules are not completed by the day prior to the scheduled practical, the student will not be permitted to attend the session, and no refunds will be issued. It is essential to ensure that all requirements are fulfilled in advance to participate fully in the course.

Refunds

Students are eligible for a 100 per cent refund less an administrative charge of $50.00 if they formally withdraw at least two full business days prior to the class start date. The withdrawal refund may be applied to another course upon request.

(Ex: If your course is booked on a Wednesday, to be eligible for a full refund, the course must be cancelled on Friday.)

Failure to formally withdraw from a course within the published deadlines above will result in no refund being provided. Late cancellations will result in zero refunds. Students who attend but are unsuccessful in courses are not eligible for refunds.
